Data management for Kubernetes
NetApp is working with the Kubernetes community to develop the vision of a software-defined platform as part of Project Astra. The goal of Project Astra is to be the most robust, easy-to-use, enterprise-class storage and data services platform for Kubernetes that enables both application and data transfers for stateful applications.
The goal is to close the gap between the current popularity of containers on the one hand and user experience and capabilities as well as actual and comprehensive portability on the other. NetApp's vision for Project Astra is that organizations will be able to work seamlessly with their chosen Kubernetes distribution in any cloud.
Project Astra provides the underlying technology provided by NetApp's public cloud partners and extends it with Kubernetes' own integrations of data services with applications.
